All census are transcribed as written by the
census taker and read by the transcriber and proof reader.

Please remember a transcription is just that-if
it is spelled wrong or phonetically on the census it is transcribed that
way.

When this census was originally microfilmed some
of the first names or initials were cut off, as a result of these
problems,
many township census will have multiple question marks. A
question mark denotes a letter, name or number is unclear and transcribed
information is questioned.
